The new year is upon us. In the spirit of new year resolutions, I decided to reduce my eco-footprint. I plan to reduce my energy consumption. I bought three 13 watt fluorescent light bulbs and plan to replace every light in my apartment. What are you planning to do this year to reduce your energy consumption.

mooching from those with giant carbon footprints is a good method for reducing your own. To all those in Billings, MT. I recommend calling colt for a ride from now on. His suburban will easily haul anything you want, and your foot print remains small!

One big way we can reduce toxic waste is by recycling computers. I get a lot of used computers that customers just abandon when the repair bill is more than a new computer. Now that you can get systems from Dell and other cheap OEMs for less than $500 people don't want to spend $200 on a repair. I refurbish them if they're half decent and donate them to charities. If they're too old I send them to a specialized computer recycling depot. Computers contain a lot of toxic material and heavy metals that shouldn't be in landfills.
